[QUOTE="Sigmag, post: 6744154, member: 620634"] Bare with me, as I'm not very proficient in this stuff... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] I first bought my audio system like 4 years ago, and hooked it up, and it worked. I come to find out today while researching how to hook up more amps and subwoofers that you should try to match the RMS of your subwoofer with that of your Amp. I've been sitting here for hours reading up on ohms and what not, but the main problem is that some of my hardware I have here has any technical information on it, so I can't really figure it out. My current system is this.... Subwoofer: [URL="http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Subwoofers/Shallow/TS-SW2541D?tab=B"]Pioneer USA - TS-SW2541D - 10" Shallow-Mount Subwoofer with 1000 Watts Max.

Amps: Kenwood KAC-7495 (500W MAX) Picture [URL="http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1631/4881/4077440021_large.jpg"]http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1631/4881/4077440021_large.jpg[/URL] Planet Audio TT2100 * 2 X 50 RMS 4 Ohm @ .04%THD * 2 X 100 RMS 2 Ohm * 1 X 200 Watts RMS Power (4 Ohm) * Signal To Noise Ratio 102 dB * Frequency Response 20 Hz to 250Hz * Tri Mode Capability * Line Out with Low/High Pass Crossover * Switchable Input Sensitivity 100mV-2V or 2V-8V * Built-In Continuously Variable Low Pass Crossover 12 dB/Octave * Continuously Variable Bass Boost 0-18 dB * Chrome Plated Connector * Dimensions 9-3/4" (L) x 2-1/4" (H) x 11-3/4" (W) Planet Audio TT260 * 2 X 30 RMS 4 Ohm @ .04%THD * 2 X 60 RMS 2 Ohm * 1 X 120 Watts RMS Power (4 Ohm) * Signal To Noise Ratio 102 dB * Frequency Response 20 Hz to 250Hz * Tri Mode Capability * Line Out with Low/High Pass Crossover * Switchable Input Sensitivity 100mV-2V or 2V-8V * Built-In Continuously Variable Low Pass Crossover 12 dB/Octave * Continuously Variable Bass Boost 0-18 dB * Chrome Plated Connector * Dimensions 7-3/4" (L) x 2-1/4" (H) x 11-3/4" (W) Subwoofers: 2x Cerwin-Vega HED-12SVC [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-cFdzG2onQF1/p_050HED124/Cerwin-Vega-HED-12SVC.html"]Cerwin-Vega HED-12SVC 12" Component Subwoofer at Crutchfield.com[/URL] The Kenwood was hooked up to both Cerwin-Vega subs and the 2 planet audio were powering the speakers.
